O'Brien Makes Comeback as Wolfhounds Fail to Impress

Sean O'Brien made a long awaited return from injury for the Ireland Wolfhounds last night.

Though there wasnt much of an impact from him or anybody else as they lost to England Saxons in Cork.

Henry Slade and Christian Wade scored as the Saxons came away 18 points to 9 winners.

With Joe Schmidt in attendance at Irish Independent Park, the 'Tullow Tank' will be hoping he did enough to prove that he's ready to return to the big stage after a second shoulder re-construction in the space of a year.

Ireland begin their RBS Six Nations defence away at the Stadio Olimpico in Italy next Saturday.
